Most visitors picture Las Vegas as four miles of casino carpet, buffet lines, and a fake Eiffel Tower. That version of the city exists, and it works hard to keep your wallet open. But the city has about 660,000 residents, and they don't spend their weekends paying $26 for a cocktail. I flew in on February 12, 2026, with a plain rule for myself: three days, under $400 total, flight not counted. I stayed off the Strip for almost all of it. I … [Read more...]
Tallinn has Captured my Heart
Tallinn is a city that feels like it’s been sketched from two different dreams: one medieval, one modern. Its Old Town - all cobbled lanes, spired churches and honey‑coloured stone - is a UNESCO‑listed wonder that looks almost too perfect to be real. But step beyond those ancient walls and you’ll find a city pulsing with creativity, digital innovation and a Nordic‑Baltic cool that’s entirely its own. For example, beyond the Old Town lies … [Read more...]

A Visit To Wat Arun: The Temple Of Dawn”
I call myself a cultural enthusiast proudly because whenever i hear about an interesting historical place or architectural building, i become curious and add that to my bucket list. This is what I have been doing since my childhood. One of such additions was “Wat Arun”, which i saw first time on a postcard that my grandfather gave me. Finally, I planned a trip to Bangkok and booked my flight tickets. There was no direct flight for Bangkok, so … [Read more...]
San Diego’s Cider Trail: A Craft Beverage Journey from Coast to Apple Country
In a town known for craft beer, San Diego's cider scene is a small (and exciting) alternative Like most of the country, craft cider in San Diego makes up only a small portion of the local beverage scene. But cider is growing in popularity, thanks to its natural lack of gluten, relatively low alcohol content and the fact it's simply a delicious drink. For what San Diego cideries lack in numbers, they more than make up for with quality, with … [Read more...]
A California coast road trip: Big Sur, redwoods, and slow evenings
The Pacific Coast Highway is one of those drives that somehow lives up to its reputation. I had seen a thousand photos before I went, and I still spent the whole trip with my jaw somewhere near the steering wheel. Last spring I drove a stretch of the California coast over a relaxed week, from Monterey down through Big Sur and on toward Santa Barbara, and it reset my definition of a good road trip. One honest note before the highlights. A … [Read more...]
A football fan’s road trip through England: stadiums, cities, and matchday magic
I have visited a lot of famous places that left me cold, and a few ordinary ones that gave me goosebumps. An English football ground on matchday belongs firmly in the second group. Last autumn I finally did the trip I had been promising myself for years: a loose loop around England to see four of its great stadiums, soak up the cities around them, and work out whether the atmosphere really lives up to the hype. It does. If anything, the … [Read more...]
Three Days in Tunisia
As of the end of 2025, Tunisia has seen a nearly ten-fold increase in tourism in the past few years. Primarily from Mediterranean cruises docking and dumping tourists for the day into the crowded downtown area, where they will visit to the markets and bazaars of the Souk (but won’t see much else.) But don’t knock it, the Souk is absolutely huge and you can easily get lost in the many narrow alleys. Tunis’ Souk also claims to house Africa’s two … [Read more...]
San Jose de Cabo, Baja California Mexico – July 2026
Located only about 20 minutes by car from the moderately sized Los Cabos International Airport, San Jose de Cabo is a small town easily seen on foot. Known for its art and historical districts. The size of the town is just right - not to small, not to big. Its feel comes from its sun drenched streets, artisan shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. Fortunately the town is completely separate from the resorts (the Zona Hotelera) which line the … [Read more...]
